Mid-Summer Discipleship

The summer time, therefore, with its opportunities for enjoying God's great outdoors, is a special gift of our loving Father, and we His children should enjoy this gift. Our whole bearing and principles during the summer months must testify to the newness which comes with faith in Jesus Christ.

Men Needed

The men needed today are men of clear vision, men of convictions and courage, valiant hearted men who are not afraid to defy the devil in the darkest hour; men who will risk their all to follow Christ, and to rescue the fallen and the perishing for whom Christ died.

1916 The Northwestern Lutheran

Mothers Who Are Men-Makers

A good mother has something to do with making a man anything he is of any character or usefulness. Happy the boy who had such a mother! Happy the mother who has a boy so appreciative of his mother's formative influence!

1924 John H. C. Fritz Walther League Messenger

The Ideal Husband

Read again slowly and carefully the words of Paul. According to these words, the ideal husband is the Christian husband. The ideal husband is the man who knows his place in the home, loves his wife, keeps her, and cleaves unto her.

1925 John H. C. Fritz Walther League Messenger

The Ideal Wife

When a Christian young man has such a wife for his spouse, namely, a Christian, home-loving young woman, he will live with her and with their children in a blessed and happy home, and marriage then will be what the Lord intended that it should be.
